The Realme GT 3 launch at MWC heralds blisteringly-fast 240W fast charging for the masses.
How fast do you need to charge your phone? Because Realme thinks – no matter how quick your current device is – it’s not quick enough. That’s based on the international launch of its new flagship, the Realme GT 3 – which boasts impressive 240W fast charging.
The company used Mobile World Congress 2023 as the stage for the launch of the Realme GT 3, which comes one year on from the global release of the Realme GT Neo 3 – one of the first smartphones to feature 150W fast charging.
While Realme is billing the GT 3 as its new flagship phone, in truth it’s essentially a rebadged Realme GT Neo 5: a premium mid-ranger that made its debut in China only a couple of weeks prior, on February 9.
This marks the first time we’ve seen a Neo-branded device materialize as a full-fledged GT flagship-class phone in its transition to global markets and perhaps more interestingly, Realme has chosen to hold fire on launching a Realme GT 3 Pro model, as it did last year with the Realme GT 2 and GT 2 Pro.
The use of a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, rather than Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is par for the course, where the company’s non-Pro models are concerned. However, it’s still built to deliver a responsive experience by way of a 144Hz display, up to 16GB of RAM, and, of course, that next-generation fast charging.
